be of such character tending to the injury of

respects an arbitrary power, and hence one to be
kept within prudent limits

determinations, which foster great aggreeations
and tend to the production of Gullivers and pig
mics.
Mr.. Smith, vice president of the Louisville &
Nashville road, said that so far as the Southern
association was concerned, there was no discrlm-
ination in favor of large cities. The managers
of railroads recognized that it was not for their
interests to centraize business and trade.
Mr.. George r. Blanchard, chairman of the
Central Traffic Association, appeared and ad-
dressed the commission briefly in behalf OF the
Michigan railroads, setting forth the circum-
stances which led to the establishment of lower
through rates from Milwaukee, across the lake
and thence across the State of Michigan, than
could be given for local traffic. by reason of the
ailrail competition via Chicago. These roads
asked permission to maintain local rates, ire
spective of the through rates, until such time as
the commission shall be able to take the peculiar
circumstances and situation into consideration.
Joha s. Lazarus, general freight agent of the
Indianapolis, Decatur & Springfield railroad,
applied by letter for "the privilege of charging
less grain and other traffic received from con-
Meeting lines at junction points than we make
for our local stations" He says, for example,
that the local rate from Tuscola, ILL.,. to Indian
apols is cents, and the rate from Indianapolis
to New York is % cents, making 80 cents from
Tuscola to New York The rate of other roads
is 27a cents and if this road participates in con-
Meeting line business it must reduce local rates
by Al cents.
A. D. Smith, general passenger agent of the
petition asking that the long and haul pro-
vision be waived for the present as regards the
transportation Of passengers between Pittsburg
and New York. This line is longer than the
Pennsylvania route, with which it is in compe-
tition. and to get small portion of the passen-
ger traffic has put down the rates to S. 30 for
secondclass and So. SO for frst-class as against
$40. so by the Pennsylvania route.
Il. A. Anderson, superintendent of the West
ern & Atlanta railroad. extending from Atlanta
to Chattanooga, petitions to be relieved from the
operation of the fourth section, and ito charge
less for longer than for shorter haul to. from
and through Atlanta, Rome and Chattanooga,
and intermediate points, in order for said COM
pany to meet water competition at Rome, Chat
tanooga, Montgomery and Augusta"
The commission then went into secret sessi on
and considered the petition presented by the
Southern Railway and Steamship Association
asking relief from the OPERATIONS of the long
and short haul clause of the interstate-commerce
act Although no final conclusion was reached,
the discussion indicated that the operations of
this clause of the law will be temporarily sus-
pended as respects these roads, pending full
hearing of their case. 1t is probable that de-
cison will be arrived at tomorrow and that
public announcement will be made of the con-
clusion reached.
